WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of La Quinta, California
did on the 10th day of March, 1992, hold a duly noticed Public Hearing to consider
the request to amend the City's General Plan Land Use Map from Riverside County
Agricultural to Very Low Density Residential fora +44 acre site, west side of Monroe
Street and 1/2 miles south of 54th Avenue, more particularly described as:
APN 767-330-007 & 008
APN 767-330-006, 011, &014
WHEREAS, at said Public Hearing, upon hearing and considering all
testimony and arguments, if any, of all interested persons desiring to be heard, said
Planning Commission did find the following facts and reasons to recommend approval
- of said General Plan Amendment:
Traffic impacts caused by the implementation of General Plan Amendment 91-
040 can be mitigated to a large degree.
The request for a Very Low Density land use is consistent with the intent of
the La Quinta General Plan and does meet the future needs of the community
with respect to demographic projections for this area. The character of the
community will not be altered if the R-1 20,000 designation is implemented.
This estate restricted area is a key component in the City's desire to maintain
a variety of housing unit densities throughout the City which translates into
a broad fluctuation in housing prices.
This General Plan Amendment application complies with the requirements of
"The Rules to Implement the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970" (as
amended) and adopted by City Council Resolution 83-68.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the
City of La Quinta, California as follows:
That the above recitations are true and correct and constitute the findings of
the Commission in this case;
That the Planning Commission does hereby recommend approval of General
Plan Amendment 91-040 as noted herein.
